This specimen was lot 602 in Künker sale 293 (Osnabruck, Germany, July 2017), where it sold for €2,600 (about US$3,504 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRAUNSCHWEIG UND LÜNEBURG, BRAUNSCHWEIG-WOLFENBÜTTEL, HERZOGTUM Wilhelm, 1603-1642. Reichstaler 1627, Harburg oder Moisburg. Dav-6405; Welter 722 A; Bahrf. 43. Von größter Seltenheit. Attraktives Exemplar mit feiner Tönung, winz. Schrötlingsrisse, sehr schön. Bahrfeldt bemerkt hierzu: "Trotz der zwei Jahre dauernder Anstellung sind Münzen mit dem Münzzeichen des Quensel (eine einen Halbmond ergreifende Hand) überaus selten. Ich kenne nur den nachstehenden Thaler, bei dem es zweifelhaft bleiben muss, wo er geprägt ist, in Harburg oder Moisburg, da Quensel an beiden Stellen zugleich amtirte" (Bahrfeldt, S. 46). (duchy of Brunswick-Harburg, William I, 1603-42, thaler of 1627, Harburg or Moisburg mint. Very rare, attractive example with fine toning, small edge crack, very fine. Bahrfeldt observes: "Despite the two years of employment, coins with the mint mark of mintmaster Quensel (a hand gripping a crescent) are very rare. I only know the following Thaler, where it must remain doubtful where it is coined, in Harburg or Moisburg, since Quensel acted as mintmaster for both mints.")"
Brunswick-Harburg, KM 16, 1620-31 and ND, XF $950. 1627(q) and 1627-HR.
